Premiership winning trainer Chris Waller is keen to get more late season two year old winners on the board when he saddles up two juveniles at the Rosehill meeting on Saturday.

Waller has last start Canterbury winner Harrier Jet and Double Happy first up from a spell ready to contest the $85,000 Inglis $5m Race Series – Entries Close 31 July 2yo Handicap (1200m).

The record breaking trainer has had a surge of two year old winners over the past couple of months and has lead in five metropolitan juvenile winners since Wine Tales won at Warwick Farm on June 18.

Waller’s other two year olds to collect the winner’s cheque in the last few weeks were Delectation, Winx, Good Project, Sniper Fire and Harrier Jet who is stepping from midweek class to face some tougher opposition after winning at Canterbury at his second race start.

The lightly raced Harrier Jet had impressed the Waller stable before his debut fifth at Warwick Farm on February 19 but the wet track attributed to the gelding’s unplaced run.

“We had a bit of an opinion of him and he just struck a wet track at his first start,” Waller said.
